yup good point but the fj09 looks so sweet in metallic red ! the t900 very nice as well they also have a 2020 t900 gt but that's another 4k more than the fj09 and realistically ill be putting on no more than 6-7 thousand km a year.

I saw a red 2015 fj09 With 23000k on it yesterday in mint shape almost looked new ! Felt pretty comfortable and alot cheaper than the new bikes I've been looking at ,there asking $8200. They also have a 2020 tracer 900 with only 8700k on it for 10500 looks nice too.

How do you find the heat coming off the engine?

the vibration or buzzing from what ive read is also a common complaint on the cbx500 at hiway speeds in the 115 and up kph or at certain rpm's depending on the bike. It seems to be bothersome to some riders but not to all .

Went to take a look at a new tiger sport 660 today and was quite impressed and in my price range . Leg room seemed good felt pretty light from the saddle ! I've checked out quite a few reviews and mostly positive but my only real concern is that it has some vibrations that a few reviewers...

Thanks for the advice , the more i look at different reviews it makes me think something a bit more substantial than the cb500x might fit me better I'd rather have a little more power on tap when needed ! Also at my age I dont want to be flipping bikes to find the " perfect" one , Lots of things...

Welcome! I'm looking at the cb500x as well and i am coming off a 37 year break from owning a bike. My question to you as you have done some touring on the cb500 , did you find the vibration bothersome ? How comfortable did you find it also i'm 6'2 with a 32" inseam so i'm wondering how the...

Not really interested in cruiser style bikes but thanks for the suggestion.

me too ! a 1981 Honda cb 650

lots of good points to think about , just want something reliable for some easy riding thats comfortable o my back and legs.

definitely a sweet ride ! too bad they don't have the tracer 7 in Canada

I actually saw that online but unfortunately my insurance is more expensive due to my lack of coverage in recent years. So far the online quotes I got from riders plus is 166/m for the tracer for reference the 500x is around 100/month vstrom 650 about 140/month. i could handle 140 if the bike...

8- 12k , a new nx 500 9500 +tx . if used would like 2020 or newer if possible with low km's . I saw in person a 2021 cb500x with 24 km 6900 in very nice shape.

well what do you suggest?, I sat on a 21 cbx 500 felt pretty comfortable to me . Basicaly i'm looking for something with an upright comfortable riding position not too heavy powerful enough for the hi way and affordable to purchase and insure.

It will be 95% street riding , I mainly casual rides up to the cottage short day trips in the country etc the odd gravel/dirt road hear and there , so probably wont be in the saddle for long stretches. as far as shifting skills will see hoe it goes . Although I have a buddy who moved to near...

lots of great info , thanks alot Gentelmen ! I'm in no rush and alot if things to consider so more research to do. Nice to hear from an "experienced" rider I'd be thrilled to still be riding in my seventies👴 ! Anybody have experience with a Tiger sport 660??

60 years old is a young guy ? wish my body got the memo lol. thanks for the info im pretty sure the 500 is more the adequate for my needs, one of my main concerns is leg comfort . Ive seen some comments of people lowering the foot pegs to help with leg room , im 6'2 with a 32" inseam. I'm going...

thanks for the input ! I wont be putting on big miles, mostly roads with 80 k limits but obviously the 400 series to get out of the city. so wont be cruising for extended periods at higher speeds But still want it to be capable . I'm 6'2 with 32" inseam and leg comfort is a big priority ive...

thanks ! looked at a 2021 cbx 500 with 25000 k on it , nice bike . I got some insurance quotes online from riders plus 94$ a month , 105$ a month for a new nx 500 and 143$ for a new vstrom 650 xt . Due to my lack of motorcycle insurance in some time there on the high side it ,appears as I...

hi all good to be here! I've got the itch back , I got my license back in 81 and rode for about 10 years and haven't ridden since then . And now I'm interested in getting back into riding so I need some help deciding what motorcycle to get . I'm 60 so i need to something pretty comfortable, I've...
